According to the information released in Open Secret, the current presidential election is the most expensive one throughout the history of the United States. The candidates of both parties used funds from different sources to boost their campaign throughout the country. The costs are beyond the imagination of a middle-brow citizen. Open Secret reports (https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2016/10/total-cost-of-2016-election-could-reach-6-6-billion-crp-predicts/) that the total costs of 2016 presidential election will be more than $6.6 billion. Adjusted for inflation, this figure is $86.6 million more than 2012 election expenses. The Democratic candidate’s share is higher in this figure.

The main sources of these funds are various and perplexing. Part of the costs is paid by the candidates’ campaigns and their personal assets. Besides, the parties and their joint fund-raising committees play a major role in financing the candidates. PACs are also committed to prepare a part of the funds needed. The weird part of the story is that the so-called top 100 families and their companies hold a major share in financing the candidates. The purposes behind this expenses by businessmen is both clear and unclear. While in 2012 election, 5.6 percent of the overall expenses was given by these families, the current election is heated by an 11.9 percent share of these bourgeoisies of the society. The reason might be sought in the previous and future relationships between the families and the candidates whose corruption has already been proved for most people.

It should be taken into Consideration that one side of the game is a billionaire and the other side is an old-time politician and head of a big private holding. The latter, as said so far, was more successful in attracting the appeals and funds from different sources. All the statistics show that the costs of this election will be much more than the previous ones and the predicted $6.6 billion is a conservative estimate. This is while this election is supposed as the most disappointing one for the American voters. The immoralities and corruptions of both sides have led to the mistrustof the public in both sides and dejection has been the only outcome. Furthermore, a survey carried out in Chapman University shows thatfear of corruption of Government(http://en.institutomanquehue.org/publications/news/survey-reveals-what-americans-fear-most.html) is on the top of American public fears. The candidates are using money to make for all the deficiencies and fallacies in their past and present. The funds that could have been expended for the advancement and progression of the country and its people is being used for realization of the dream of power in the high-brows. To review what went so far, it should be concluded that the American people are not the spectators of the fire of the election; they are the firewood within the fire.
